5. Profanities

You may not use profanity or bypass the software-based censor. In addition to words included in the censor list, sexual remarks and slang may be considered profane when used in certain contexts.

User names including profanities WILL be banned!!!

A word about what is considered to be bypassing the software-based censor: Anything done to avoid the default *'s provided by the censor is considered to be a bypass of the censor. For example, if the word "Babylon" was in the censor (it is not), then all of the following are considered a bypass of the censor and thus in violation of the CoC:

Other variations of the above are also not allowed, doing so may result in a warning or ban from the Dragon Raja forums.

15. SignatureEach signature cannot have pictures that have a total height of more than 250 pixels. This is for 2 reasons. The main reason is to reduce eye strain and 2nd to have some control on total signature size.

There can still be text added though there is no clear cut rule on how big the total text can be. Ridiculously big signatures will not be allowed. Our moderation of signatures is purely based on what we define is past the limit of a reasonable total signature size. To make our decisions and actions more reasonable and logical, we will make our decisions about such matter based on what other forums, a part from our own, has allowed. Which by the way, many of them are much more lenient on this matter.

Questionable actions and contentContrary to popular beliefs, the CoC isn't designed to cover everything. We reserve the right to act if a user's actions, including the user's posts, are deemed counterproductive to the forum community. The CoC is also prone to error. If you find any error in the CoC, please contact the adminisrator.
